Pearl S. Buck
I don't wait for moods - you'd never get anything done if you did.
Pearl S. Buck
It is difficult not to wonder whether that combination of elements which produces a machine for labor does not create also a soul of sorts, a dull resentful metallic will, which can rebel at times.
Pearl S. Buck
A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass.
Pearl S. Buck
None but the ignorant can be bored by life. To the lovers of learning, life is pure adventure shared with adventurers.
Pearl S. Buck
